What are the applications of 1 kb plus DNA ladders?

Posted April 24, 2024


Answer

The primary application of 1 kb plus DNA ladders is to determine the sizes of double-stranded DNA fragments within the range of 250 bp to 25,000 bp.

1 kb plus DNA ladders enable researchers to size DNA fragments that are significantly longer than typical fragments, enabling the quantification of DNA fragments and the comparison of their relative sizes.
